FREESTYLE
That is the place the album will get right into a little bit of bother for me. It’s clear that almost all TWS albums will now have an compulsory hip-hop observe, and I favored final yr’s Double Take quite a bit. It was a enjoyable tackle the style with some distinctive vocal prospers and a catchy (if repetitive) hook. Freestyle has its enjoyable moments too, however they’re slowed down by a chanted refrain that sounds an excessive amount of like different present boy group tracks.
The tune opens with a percolating electro blip that immediately raised my hackles. I want producers would cease utilizing obnoxious samples/loops in Okay-pop tracks. If the sound itself is annoying, it’s going to be annoying within the context of a tune as properly!
Issues enhance as TWS’s vocals are available, providing a vibrant tackle this playful hip-hop sound. I just like the marching-band-esque pre-chorus and as a lot as I hated it the primary time by means of, the chanted hook is starting to develop on me. The “doo-goo-doom” accent is especially endearing. I don’t assume I’d skip this tune completely, nevertheless it’s undoubtedly my least favourite on the album.
